2012 is in full swing, and hopefully all of you have started it with positive mental attitude and some goal setting. I really don’t like to call them New Year’s resolutions, however the importance to have certain goals and a “TO-DO list” for each year is tremendous. In fact that’s exactly what I did on New Year’s Eve, as I didn’t feel like going out, and didn’t have no family around to chill with either. So I did some planning and preparation instead.

What I’d like to talk about are the mental barriers people set for themselves. Too often I hear some of my clients or people in general saying things like “Oh, I will never look like you”, “It’s not realistic to eat this way”, “I’m too tired”, “I just can’t push myself”. And it’s not necessarily fitness related, what about “I don’t have the time”, “I can never afford this”, “What will people say?”. We all got some negativity creeping up at some point, haven’t we?

With any obstacle you face in life, two things can help you overcome any fear and anxiety that you may have - preparation & action. As long as have a plan, and you proceed to execute it – why would you ever be scared of failure? Everything is a step by step process. Once you’ve given it an absolute 100%... Only then you would see how far you can go. Why limit yourself within mental captivity? The glass ceiling you have built does not exist!!  You have to break through it and never look back!! One word… FREEDOM.

It's been a looooong time since my last post... Just letting you guys know that I am alive and well, just keeping myself busy. I had some computer issues, but now it's about to get sorted, so look out for more posts, new videos and gallery updates very soon!!

So what I've been up to? Mostly getting people in shape, and helping them to achieve their health & fitness goals. All of my personal training clients are progressing very consistently, I have to note Ahmed combating his knee pain, Marcia's complete transformation, Kim dropping numerous dress sizes to look good on her wedding day, Jerome getting rid of his back pain and adding a considerable amount of muscle, and Martin finishing his first marathon. Well done to you guys!! Testimonial section on the website is coming soon, I'd really like to show you all that with hard work and dedication anything is possible.

Also I've been training very hard for my second Fitness Model competition - Fame UK that took place in London on 5th of June. It was a great experience, and I'm quite happy I placed 2nd in my category, considering the sheer amount of competition in my class, including some very decent physiques. Definitely doing it again next year, the event has been renamed to Miami Pro, and looks like it will be even bigger and better. Stacks of stuff coming up so stay tuned!! Talk to you next time.
